Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s Birth Certificate Format

Every country issues birth certificates differently, IRCC accepts documents in English or French; a document in any other language needs a certified translation. We’ve translated tens of thousands from every region. Here’s the most common gotcha for each top source.

🇵🇱 Poland · Akt urodzenia

Issued by the Urząd Stanu Cywilnego, usually as the odpis skrócony (short) or zupełny (full) copy. A full certified English translation is required for IRCC and English-Canada institutions.

🇷🇴 Romania · Certificat de naștere

Issued by the Primăria / Starea Civilă. We provide the full certified translation IRCC requires.

🇲🇽 Mexico · Acta de Nacimiento

Issued by the Registro Civil. Current CURP-format certificates are single-page printed documents; older records are handwritten book extracts. CURP, folio and tome/page numbers are preserved exactly. A certified translation is sufficient for IRCC.

🇨🇳 China · 出生医学证明

The 出生医学证明 (hospital birth certificate) is most commonly submitted; some applicants also hold a 出生公证书 (notarial birth certificate). We translate both, preserving all stamps, seals and official field text.

🇵🇰 Pakistan · NADRA Birth Certificate

The computerised NADRA / Union Council birth certificate is usually bilingual Urdu-English, but the Urdu entries, seals and older manual certificates need certified translation for IRCC.

🇮🇳 India · Municipal Birth Certificate

Issued by the Municipal Corporation, Gram Panchayat or hospital registrar. Hindi- and regional-language certificates need translation; English-only ones generally do not. We translate all formats, preserving the registration number.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

We translate birth certificates both into English and from English into any target language. Whether your document is in Polish, Romanian, Urdu, Arabic, Chinese or any other language, every order follows the same quality-controlled process. You upload, we translate, certify and deliver – ready to submit to IRCC or any Canadian body that requires it.

FAQs

Birth Certificate Translation: Common Questions

Does IRCC require a certified birth certificate translation?+
Yes. IRCC require a full certified English translation of any foreign-language document, showing the translator’s certification that it is accurate, the date, and the translator’s name and contact details. Our signed Certificate of Accuracy meets this exactly.
How much does certified birth certificate translation cost in Canada?+
$39.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). Most birth certificates fit on a single page. No surcharge for rarer languages. A hard copy by post and apostille can be added at checkout.
How long does certified birth certificate translation take?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for documents of 1–3 pages, and most single-page certificates are delivered the same working day. A 12-hour expedited service is available on request for urgent deadlines.
My birth certificate is in French – do I still need a translation?+
IRCC accepts documents in English or French, so a French birth certificate does not need translation for IRCC. If an English-only institution (a college, licensing body or employer) requires it, we provide a certified English translation.
Do I need an apostille for my birth certificate translation?+
For use in Canada, a signed Certificate of Accuracy alone is the accepted standard for IRCC, Canadian courts, provincial authorities and universities. An apostille (from $149.95) is only needed when your translated document will be used abroad under the 1961 Hague Convention.
What languages do you translate birth certificates from?+
All 195+ countries, in 100+ languages. We translate Polish akty urodzenia, Romanian certificate de naștere, Urdu and Pakistani NADRA certificates, Mexican actas de nacimiento, Chinese 出生医学证明 and every other format.
Can you translate a damaged or hard-to-read birth certificate?+
Yes. We accept scans, photos and clear copies. Illegible sections are marked as [illegible] with translator’s notes where appropriate. If we cannot certify a portion, you’ll know before paying.
